A really interesring older place. It was like a mansion that had been made into a hotel. I stayed three different times because of the convenience of being close to Haymarket railroad station. The first room was in the attic so lots of stairs to climb. Room was big enough for three of us and had a lovely view. The next time I was by myself so I asked for a lower floor and got a room on 2nd floor so was less stairs to climb. Then next time I was on the main floor and even had a mini fridge. I also got breakfast included on the last two times so had a lovely full Scottish breakfast. I' not sure why we didn't get it included the first time. It is a 30 minute walk to old town Edinburgh so very doable if you walk. A few small convenience stores close by to pick up food, drinks & snacks. A few restaurants close by. The restaurant in the hotel itself was not open when i was there in September. Beds are comfortable & rooms clean.

Very interesting older building. Quite a few stairs to bring luggage up to 3rd floor. First room was an attic room but it was quite big enough. Staff were obliging when I requested a room on a lower floor when i came back for a second stay. I also got breakfast included on second stay. It was lovely full Scottish breakfast too. Beds were comfortable & rooms were clean.

The room was really comfortable, the wifi worked excellent and the location was perfect because it was close to the old and new town but far enough to get some rest. The staff of the hotel was the best thing, they were always kind with us and they gave us an excellent service!

Sadly, I don't recommend

Myself and 2 friends stayed here for 3 nights and we, sadly, had problems the entire time. We walked into the room and it smelled of water damage and mold, while the floors had so many squishy floor spots, it was like playing "the floor is lava" as a kid. We went to take a shower and the water was either skin-burning hot, or ice-cold. It alternated between the two and didn't stay one temperature for a whole minute. The wi-fi did not reach our room the entire stay, and when we spoke to the front desk about it, they reset the router, but that did not fix the problem. They looked at the shower the 2nd night and got it to stay lukewarm, but the smell never left. They suggested they would try to move us rooms the next night, but they never did. I was excited because this looked like a nice hotel, but it was a major disappointment and no one in my party was happy with it. We had better accommodations in the private room at the Hostel we stayed in at the beginning of our trip. The location was about a 30-minute walk from the main downtown Edinburgh streets, and we were expecting that but not the rest of the issues we had.

Uncomfortable.

The staff was nice and the room was as clean as it could be. The beds were old and very uncomfortable. The linens were all stained including every pillow we could find. The pillows were not comfortable either. The bathroom was clean and had been updated however we had no control over the light as it was on a motion sensor. Once activated the light and fan came on at the same time and stayed on for 20-30 minutes before turning off. So when someone got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom the light and fan stayed on. The restaurant also was not open while we were there.
